South Africa A vs India A 3rd ODI played at Rajkot on November 19. India A won the series by 2-1.
India A won the toss and opted to bowl first. India’s love-hate relationship with Arshdeep is out of cricketing sense.
Arshdeep is a genuine wicket-taker bowler. India missed its prime bowler from the start. Lhuan-dre-Pretorius made batting look easy. Rivaldo Moonsamy was also looking in great form. This duo made a partnership of 241 runs. Prashid took the wicket of Rivaldo Moonsamy. Rivaldo scored 107 runs. In the same over, Prashid took a wicket of Lhuan. Lhuan scored 123 runs in just 98 balls.
Harshit and Khaleel also got 2-2 wickets. Delano Potgieter finished the innings with quick runs. He scored 30 runs in just 15 balls. South Africa A posted a total of 325 runs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was the highest run getter in the series, got bowled by Bjorn Fortuin. Abhishek and Tilak both got on 11 runs. Riyan scored 17 runs. Ishan and Ayush Badoni tried to chase, but both got out after hitting half-centuries. India was all out on 252 runs. One thing that is missing in this indian middle order is experience.
